⁷ “But those who trust in the Lord will be blessed.
    They know that the Lord will do what he says.
⁸ They will be strong like trees planted near a stream
    that send out roots to the water.
They have nothing to fear when the days get hot.
    Their leaves are always green.
They never worry, even in a year that has no rain.
    They always produce fruit.

⁹ “Nothing can hide its evil as well as the human mind.
    It can be very sick,
    and no one really understands it.
